Hi After your suggestion, i've found out that the default install, for some reason did not add cupsys to the shadow group. Perhaps install scripts should sort that out, or did I miss something during the installation?
Adding cupsys to the shadow group fixes the printing issues, however, it introduces a security risk to the system. We all know that cupsys has a long history of vulnerabilities. Adding cupsys user to the shadow group could compromise the authentication information of the server, if one of the vulnerabilities is obused and local access to the server is obtained. From the security perspective, this, in turn, makes the option of running the service as unpriveleged user pointless. But I guess the cupsys developers and the debian/ubuntu team know what they are doing.
